Below is a follow-up to a story we reported on last month about the Catholic-church-run Magdalene laundries that

USC who recently traveled to Ireland and Northern Ireland for 10 days
under a grant from the Luce Foundation.

In response, the head of the Irish government apologized to victims and laid out a compensation package.
